When Fleabag was on earlier this year, we were so busy obsessing over The Hot Priest and how gloriously evil Olivia Coleman was as Godmother, we completely missed something.
Clare's weird stepson (plays the oboe, wants to watch her shower) is played by 25-year-old Angus Imrie, son of national treasure Celia Imrie. You'll remember her from Calendar Girls and The Best Most Exotic Marigold Hotel.
So yeah, Fleabag's sister's stepson is Celia Imrie's real son. Try saying that five times fast.
Angus won the 2014 Spotlight Student Drama Festival Most Promising Actor award, and studied at LAMDA.
Before he was the weird stepson, Angus played Josh Archer onlong-running radio sitcom The Archers. Every day's a school day, eh?
All The Things Fleabag Could Do To Change James Bond
‘Shaken, not stirred,’ might have been Bond’s signature martini - well, not anymore. We think the iconic catchphrase would be one of the first things to go under Waller-Bridge’s reign. As thanks to The Hot Priest, that the coolest drink is now an M&S Gin in a can. (Apparently, following series two, sales of the drink went up 24%. Wild.)

In life or death scenes, Bond would suddenly be talking to the camera, giving us all concerned and sexy looks. It could be the comedy we have all been waiting for from the franchise.

There would have to be a villainous fox, watching Bond’s each and every move. In fact, maybe the villain could be a fox?

Bond would, at some point, have to act as an undercover priest. (Though he’s definitely never going to be hotter than The Hot Priest.)

Who would play M? Who, possibly, could be on the same par as Judi Dench? Olivia Colman, obviously - nobody else can eloquently scream, ‘What a c*nt. I NEED TO PAINT!’

Forget fancy meals around the world. Undercover meetings would take place in the guinea pig cafe. (To be honest, just who is going to figure that one out?!)

The Bond girl would have to either wear a jumpsuit, stripes or a red dress - as per Fleabag’s wardrobe.

And the Bond girl could have a proper edgy new hairstyle...

The sex scenes could also be a lot more realistic, and less glamourous. Why would the Bond girl have sex with Bond, when she could simply masturbate next to him instead?
The sex scenes could also be a lot more realistic (aka less glamourous.) Instead of the Bond girl instantly falling into Bond's arms after a few glib chat up lines from Daniel Craig, he walks in on her masturbating to YouTube videos of Barack Obama instead. Just a thought...
